Angelique Kidjo - Hope!! - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Her new album, OYAYA!, is the third part in a trilogy that previously explored African roots in music from the United States and Brazil. This time around, Kidjo explores the musical links between her native Africa and the musical traditions of the Caribbean Diaspora. With her husband, Jean Hebrial, Kidjo penned 13 original songs in a variety of indigenous Caribean styles, including salsa, calypso, meringue and ska.

Angelique Kidjo is more than just one of the world 's best loved African singers she is a musical ambassador for her country, Benin, and indeed, for the entire African continent. While she ha stepped her music in the tribal and pop rhythms of her West African heritage, the Benin born, Paris/Brooklyn based Kidjo has crossed musical boundaries by blending a variety of styles, including Funk, Salsa, Jazz, Souk and Makossa.
